Story
The farm is located at an altitude of approximately 1,400m, which is relatively low for Colombia, making it a challenging area influenced by global warming. Shady, a young man in his 30s, is creating high-quality beans in this environment through trial and error with equipment and fermentation processes. He ferments Colombian beans, known for their strong body, for a long time using a method called "anaerobic fermentation."
Approximately 60 hours of airtight sealing brings out flavors such as guava, which is also part of this product's name, as well as stone fruits, chocolate, and wine.
Shady, who wishes for the development of his region, actively works daily to foster human connections, such as buying beans from neighboring farmers at a higher price than the market rate and supporting female workers.

FOREST COFFEE began in 1995 when avocado cultivation began at our own farm, El Vergel Farm.
Then, in 2010, producers Elias and Shadi's mother, Martha, began their own venture into coffee cultivation.
As the couple's interest in coffee grew, they dedicated themselves to improving their experimental knowledge of pulping and various fermentation methods, and in 2015 they successfully cultivated their first variety.
In 2019, FOREST COFFEE was established with the theme and vision of "RE FOREST (reclaiming lost forests)."
El Vergel farm grows approximately 28 different coffee varieties on about half of its vast 300 hectares of land.
Typically, most coffee farms in Colombia do not plant "shade trees" in order to increase yields or expand the area of land under cultivation, but El Vergel Farm has planted shade trees and cultivates coffee as part of a voluntary effort to preserve the natural forest for the sake of nature conservation.
The cultivation methods at El Vergel Farm are more similar to those found in farms in Central America, Costa Rica, and Panama.
He always approaches coffee from a research and experimental perspective, and as a pioneer of innovation and quality in Colombian coffee, he leads FOREST COFFEE, a network of 250 coffee producers.
They specialize in the fermentation process, and at their washing station in the center of the farm, they use a dedicated app to precisely manage the process and carry out production processing.
Through countless research and experimentation, we have developed the ability to use bacteria, yeasts and controlled fermentation to bring coffee to unprecedented levels of excellence.
We are also fascinated by innovative initiatives that are changing our relationships with producers for the better.
